Transcript

I'm 32 years old. I'm recently divorced and I don't have no friends. Y'all, I've been crying about this all week. I mean, I have friends, but I don't have like braes made. I don't have like a made of honor to where I can, you know, face time somebody and we talking every day. We text in a group chat. I got friends, you know, people from the college, but I don't have like my swing in them and I want it. So, two different girls invited me to their little birthday functions this weekend and it's about to rain, but I'm still on my way there because when it was my birthday, I had a home girl. We was cool. We met on Bubble BF. And we was like locked in. We was going to dinner, taking pictures, hanging out. When it came time for my birthday, it was raining. And I was like, you know, as a person who usually gets disappointed around their birthday, I'm like, you know, if you can't make it, don't worry about it. I really should have said but you better be there. But she was like, yeah, actually um first she said she was coming. Then she was like, actually, I forgot I got a nail appointment. You're going to miss my birthday for nail appointment. No way. So, I don't want to be that person. Even though it's not like my home girl, home girl. I want to show up for people to wait that I want people to show up for me because I don't want to go into 33 with no home girls. I want some home girls. I want some friends. I want our best friend.
